Escambia is a nice High School. They offer many AP classes and lets you take Dual enrollment for college. Which is a great opportunity for kids. Before I was unrolled to Escambia, I heard we had Gator Time to let kids have a study period and I think it's a great idea to have but it was taken away because people used it to have fights instead. The bathrooms were alright but in my Junior year, some of it didn't even have a working soap dispenser or paper towels. Ever since this pandemic happened, I've been doing online classes and I thought they handled it pretty well except for the kids who are in school because when I saw many students without mask. They held a football game through this pandemic and I saw no social distancing or mask wearing on social media. I still think it's a great school over all. The teachers are nice and very helpful and counselors are very approachable.
While Escambia Highschool is not bad in every aspect, the good things about it are ruined or ignored by its administration. While there are some really amazing teachers that love their job and care to make Escambia a better place, a large majority of teachers really just don't care about us. Shockingly enough, it is the good teachers are unappreciated and, in the past, have been driven to quit their jobs. Escambia has good programs that compete every year and win, however, the only program that admin cares about is football. While ROTC, band, and Latin perform well year after year they never get the support or recognition they deserve from the school. The people in charge of Escambia do not care about anything other than themselves and it reflects poorly on the student body. I was not prepared for college whatsoever and it was obvious to me that they only cared about graduation rates instead of my future.
Escambia High School has an incredible music program. Over the years, I appreciated the way progress was consistently made toward modernizing the curriculum, integrating it more with technological applications in the classroom. I would like to see more funding given to extracurricular activities. I feel that this would give many programs the extra push they need to go from good to great.
